Pros

Best thing would be 401k benefit, but that's about it.

Cons

Too many, hopefully I capture most: -got rid of things like "work your way" encouraging working remote and work-life balance, got rid of early dismissal before Holidays, one day off total for Christmas, hardly any raises -constant changes based on uneducated decision-making, don't care when employees try to explain why it isn't a good decision, "get it done" attitude with arbitrary deadlines, zero change management and everyone left in scrambles -gaslight employees about workload with "growth mindset" -don't want to hire or invest in any of their initiatives and changes, so they mentally tax loyal employees that have stayed with more and more cumbersome work on top of their full workload -asking some employees to work personal time and weekends as a new requirement of the job

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
